Please sing to the tune of Loose Control from Rang de Basanti…

Lost control,
Lost control,
One more time,
Indian cricket’s lost control.

IPL’s a rebel,
IPL’s a rebel.

Na koi poochne wala, na koi check karne wala,
Na koi rokne wala, na koi hisaab lene wala,
Apni to paatshala, masti ki paatshala,
IPL ki paatshala, masti ki paatshala.

Lost control!

Paise ki boriyan hain, ham woh khaane aate hai,
Ye IPL hain sabki mobile money factory,
Deals ka equation hain, gadbad ka multiplication hain,
Jisne sabko lapeta hain,
Woh game hara, paisa jeeta hain,
Woh game hara, paisa jeeta hain,
Woh game hara, paisa jeeta hain.

Lost control,
Lost control,
One more time,
Indian cricket’s lost control.

IPL’s a rebel.

Talli hoke girne se samjhi cricketing economy,
Iska practical kiya tab bana IPL ka reality,
Na koi poochne wala, na koi check karne wala,
Naata ye cricket, politics, bollywood aur industry ka lamba hain,
Har dil dakh dakh kar raha hain ab dar se…
Na koi rokne wala, na koi hisaab lene wala,
Apni to paatshala, masti ki paatshala,
IPL ki paatshala, masti ki paatshala.

IPL’s a rebel.
Lost control!

Where’s the star reporter?
Covering the IPL…
Where’s the local reporter?
IPL matches shifted out of city, looking into that.
Where’s the business reporter?
Multi-billion dollar IPL industry, business leaders, I-T raids…
Where’s the international affairs reporter?
Australian, English, Pakistan boards keenly looking at the IPL crisis…
Where’s the environment reporter?
Some green initiatives announced by IPL got buried…
Where’s the film reporter?
SRK premises raided, Preity promises to talk…
What about other news?
Is there any other news happening? Oh yeah, Sania is landing in Pakistan! Our Pakistan correspondent will handle that one!

Hey you’re back from the stadium!
Yeah it was awesome!
B…
Wow those cheerleaders sure are hot!
Bu…
I saw SRK, Juhi and Preity in the crowds. Great man!
But…
They’ve really made a great giant screen.
But w…
3 sixes actually went out of the stadium.
But wh…
You saw the dug-out. Players and head honchos…
But who…
Firecrackers. Music. The atmosphere is electric.
But who won?
Eh? Hmmm. I don’t remember!

Regular speaker: I’m going to have a nervous breakdown. So busy.
Why what happened?
4 chat shows, 7 interviews on 8 news channels in 24 hours! I don’t know how much longer I can handle this IPL crisis!

***

Minister: We’re thinking of having IPL-style premier leagues for all Indian sports!
Official: Why? Do you want corruption, sleaze, controversy and hungama to spread to all the other sports too?

***

Mate, I think I’ll be retiring soon!
Why?
Do you think the IPL will last? There may be no IPL4. I’ll be out of a job…
